Submit your abstract for disaster and emergency management

Abstract submissions are still open for the Australian and New Zealand Disaster & Emergency Management Conference, closing 13 February.

Taking place from 22 to 23 May 2017 at Jupiters Hotel on the Gold Coast, Queensland, the conference is now in its sixth year, and the third directly aligned with the CRC. More than 100 speakers and 40 exhibitors from across the emergency and disaster management sector are expected this year, and CRC project teams are strongly to consider submitting an abstract.

The conference theme 'Earth, fire and rain' will continue to address planning, response and review the latest research in the management of disasters, emergencies and hazards, including what we can learn from our international colleagues and the research being undertaken.

The conference is a joint initiative of four ‘not-for-profit’ organisations: the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC, the Australian Institute of Emergency Services, the Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association Inc. and the Association for Sustainability in Business Inc.
